City’s hungry for a food truck scene

Some topics are just too sacred to talk about — even in an opinion column.

There is also valid concern about trafﬁc and congestion. It’s hard enough to drive around and ﬁnd parking in Steveston on a weekend as it is. (Although, why people choose to drive down there anyway is another column.)

Race and religion are fair game, but don’t go messin’ around with things like food trucks in Steveston. Judging by our Facebook comments, you could get your house torched for that.

The city’s solution is to ask (with the threat of having their licences pulled if they refuse) the trucks to roll on down a couple of blocks to Britannia Heritage Shipyards.

Regardless, being someone who can’t keep herself out of a squabble, I will address the issue — but as Switzerland.

Salty’s Lobster Shack has done just that. And last Saturday, I happened to be going by there and it actually looked like a nice set-up. The truck didn’t need a loud generator spewing exhaust to inhale with your food, there are picnic tables, washrooms nearby and, most importantly to the business, there was a lineup.

Here’s what’s causing the hullaballoo: A couple of food trucks, Shameless Buns and Salty’s Lobster Shack, recently set up business in the heart of Steveston. The city says that offends city bylaws. Councillors say they like the idea of food trucks, just not in that location. They say the issue has to do with parking regulations, but Shameless says the real concern is some coffee shops and restaurants fear competition from the trucks.

That said, it’s not exactly a food truck scene, something I don’t think we’ve ever really had in Richmond. My ﬁrst introduction to food truck culture was in Ottawa -- the ByWard Market at 1 a.m., to be speciﬁc.

We’d just left (I won’t say staggered out of) the Chateau Lafayette. And there on the street, appearing like a vision, was a lineup of food trucks. We went to one selling donairs — they were to die for. Now for a little context, the Laff is/was a classic dive bar with small round tables with red, terry towel table clothes and cheap, cold draft. (At least it was, but this was almost 30 years ago now.) It stands in the proud tradition of Canadian dive bars I’ve known. Not like I’ve sought them out, but I happen to have made my acquaintance with a few. In Medicine Hat it was the Royal Hotel, in Calgary the St. Louis. I can’t remember the name of the one in Prince George, but we went there on our days off from tree planting. They’re fun, loud (at the time smoky) places with plenty of cheap, cold draft. (Oh, did I already mention the draft?) What they didn’t have is food, at least anything you’d actually want to eat. There was often a big jar of pickled

eggs on a shelf behind the bar, looking rather like something out of a Halloween display. Apart from the eggs, there might be vending machine where you could get a bag of chips. Actually, the Royal, being the classy joint it was, had free, extremely salty popcorn, which of course made that draft go down even faster. The point being, people stagger out of these places starving, hence the lineup of food trucks outside the Laff. When it comes to food trucks in Steveston, the problem (which really is not a problem) is that our bars actually serve great food. Not to mention the fact we have plenty of other wonderful eateries as well. Regardless, there is something fun about food truck culture, eating outside, on the street or at a bench with a view — of which there are plenty in Steveston. I won’t weigh in on exactly where they should park, but I will be lining up once they’re there.

LETTERS Could hate victims face propaganda charge? Dear Editor, Re:”Steveston Cafe racial slur suspect charged with mischief,” News, May 6. With regards to the recent story about the couple who used racial slurs in the Rocanini Coffee Shop in Steveston, I was surprised to learn that legal advisor Vincent Yang suggested the incident could be deﬁned as “hate propaganda” because “the Steveston cafe is a public place and there were people witnessing the whole situation on video footage.” If Vincent Yang’s suggestion that “hate propaganda” is the only hate crime deﬁned in the Criminal Code then this sounds to me like it would make for an interesting legal catch-22.

alleged hate crime took the initiative to upload the incident to social media for thousands of people to view then it begs the question: Would the act of uploading this video content be unintentionally aiding and abetting “hate propaganda”? If the victims had decided to not upload the video to social media and submit it directly to the police, would the act still constitute as “hate propaganda” if the incriminating footage was never made available to the public? Given the modern trend of using videos on social media as a measure against alleged crimes, perhaps a good criminal lawyer could educate us on whether this method is the best action to take.

Pandemic can go, but so can the planes Dear Editor, There have been many challenges to our modern lifestyle during the pandemic. People have been held back from their freedoms, including travel. We’ve lived in the Hamilton area for nearly 40 years.

I was told that the south runway was receiving maintenance and that it was a 10-year plan. Every summer, ﬂights would be redirected to the north runway until the work was completed. Our quiet home was no more. The pandemic changed it all back.

When we ﬁrst moved in, it was a small, quiet neighbourhood. YVR Airport used the south runway and we could hear planes rumbling in the distance.

We can now sit in our garden in the afternoon and hear the birds. We can enjoy our deck again without constant ﬂights over our heads that drive us indoors.

In the 90s, the airport built the north runway and all that changed. The sky above became an airplane highway.

We know that the peace and quiet won’t last. News announcements are already saying that once the virus is under control, travel will increase again and we can “look forward” to life the way it was.

I recall a July 1 weekend when the north runway was used, around 40 planes ﬂew over our house. I contacted YVR Noise Management but ended the phone call feeling frustrated and dismayed.

I question how good that was.

ICBC names are a joke Dear Editor. Re: “Woman fighting ICBC over use of Catholic names.” I had exactly the same issue and was forced to legally change my name so I didn’t have to use the name as shown on my birth certificate. I was born in Manitoba to a Quebecois mother. I grew up in B.C. and had always used Maryel as my first name on my driver’s licence and all other legal or medical documents. Suddenly ICBC decided I have to start using my name as shown on my birth certificate?! (Marie Clara Maryel) Utter nonsense! I even had to go to the police station to get finger printed. I sincerely hope she wins her fight!

Dashcam appeal after deadly YVR shooting injured.

Alan Campbell & Valerie Leung ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

As the public continues to try to wrap its head around a brazen, daytime execution outside YVR’s main terminal on Sunday afternoon, there are media reports naming the man shot dead. According to Punjabi publication Chardhi Kala and the Vancouver Sun, the 28-yearold victim was Karman Grewal, of the United Nations (UN) gang. The UN gang, added Chardhi Kala, has been in conﬂict with the rival Brothers Keepers Gang for many years and has predicted more violence in reaction to the Mother’s Day shooting. News of the killing, which happened around 3 p.m. right outside the doors of the main terminal, spread quickly around the world, with the BBC also picking up the story. Late Sunday night, Richmond RCMP’s Chief Supt. Will Ng held a press confer-

Karman Grewal, pictured a few years ago. ence, along with the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT), to condemn the targeted killing and appeal for dashcam footage from the public. Ng called the shooting an “attack with no regard for public safety,” adding that “this generation of gangsters is taking things to another level. “They are looking for any opportunity to target people or rivals of other gangs and doing it with no regard for children or innocent people in the community.” Ng said police are taking “next-level strategies,” which include working with other law enforcement agencies and partners and will do their “utmost to bring those responsible to justice.”

This generation of gangsters is taking things to another level. CHIEF SUPT. WILL NG IHIT’s Sgt. Frank Jang, meanwhile, said the victim was known to police and the incident is believed to be part of the ongoing Lower Mainland gang conflict. He said at least two suspects involved fled the scene in a red or maroon Honda Pilot SUV, which was caught on dashcam heading east at high speed near Sea Island Way and No. 3 Road. It’s understood around that point the vehicle was intercepted by an RCMP cruiser, which was shot at by the suspects. Police say that’s when, for the safety of the public, they discontinued the pursuit. One police vehicle had a bullet hole in its windshield, although no officers were

Shortly after the incident, a burned-out vehicle, similar to the one ﬂeeing Richmond, was found in the 9700 block of Princess Drive in Surrey. Investigators believe the suspects ﬂed in the vehicle on Highway 99, onto Highway 91, crossing the Alex Fraser Bridge and onto River Road before ditching the vehicle and burning it in an alley — about 28 kilometres away from the airport. Jang said he is tired of seeing all the violence on the streets and that there “are no further words” to describe it. “Please do the right thing. Stop killing each other. Apparently, it’s fallen on deaf ears for some and they continue shooting their guns and putting all of us in jeopardy,” he said. No suspect is currently in custody. Anyone with information or dashcam video is asked to contact the IHIT Information Line at 1-877-551-IHIT (4448) or by email at ihitinfo@rcmp-grc.gc.ca. To remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers.

Police called in after woman, 25, dies from work accident

Dramatic footage of tunnel rollover crash Alan Campbell

Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A 25-year-old woman died after an industrial accident in Richmond last Wednesday. Richmond RCMP said it was called around 1 p.m. on May 5 about an industrial accident in the 3900 block of Boundary Road in the north Hamilton area. According to police, a 25 year-old female employee was taken to hospital by ambulance but later died of her injuries. RCMP said her next of kin has been notified but will not be releasing her name at this time out of respect for the family. Police have also not named the business in question, although there are very few companies in operation in the area, which includes the Hamilton Transit Centre and a steel product manufacturer. Officers from Richmond RCMP’s Serious Crime Unit and staff from WorkSafeBC continue to investigate. The BC Coroners Service has also been notified.

Dramatic footage has emerged of a rush hour crash which all but shut down the Massey Tunnel. Dashcam video from a southbound vehicle, as it emerged from the south side of the tunnel around 9 a.m. last Friday, shows a northbound vehicle in the counterﬂow lane being clipped by a semitruck, before hitting the median and rolling over. The northbound vehicle then appears to slam, upside down into the southbound vehicle, as airbags deploy. Audio from the dashcam appears to have the sound of a baby crying in the car in the aftermath of the crash. Amazingly, according to the BC Ambulance Service, only one person sustained injuries, although it’s still not clear who was injured.

The crash closed the only southbound lane in the tunnel at the time and reduced northbound to one lane, before being cleared about an hour later. To see the video, search tunnel crash at Richmond-News.com

Mamas helping kids in poverty this summer Alan Campbell

ACAMPBELL@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A Richmond charity has launched its first summer-specific fundraiser to help families that struggle when schools are not in session. Mamas for Mamas kicked off its “2021 Summer Campaign” last week, aimed at filling the void of care for children when schools break for the summer holidays. The Richmond branch of Mamas for Mamas wants to raise as much money as possible so it can help the hundreds of families that need support over the summer months. “A few years ago, we were organizing Christmas hampers for families in need, and I will never forget the response from one little eight-year-old boy,” said the charity’s branch director, Andrea Delf. “When the principal asked him

what he’d like on his wish list he replied with ‘a sandwich.’ “That was a powerful moment. I realized that behind so many doors there are children who go hungry every single day and parents who stay up at night wondering how they are going to feed their family.” Delf spoke with two principals in Richmond, both from low-income areas, and “was shocked at the numbers” they gave her. “Out of 500 students, 40 per cent could desperately use support over the summer,” she said. “So, here we begin our mission. If you would like to be a part of this campaign and support a family for July and August, all you have to do is click the link to donate.

Licence under review Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Shameless Buns has been operating in Steveston this spring.

City of Richmond staff have recommended the business licence be pulled for a controversial Vancouver food truck that has been operating in Steveston. The recommendation, which will go before city council May 17, is based on claims they are in noncompliance with zoning and are contravening parking regulations. The food truck operator, however, says the city is trying to “strong arm” them to relocate after a few businesses complained about their operations in Steveston. Shameless Buns, a food truck serving Filipino cuisine, has been operating in the parking lot of Steveston Hub and in an industrial area off Knight Street for a couple months. The decision to pull the licence is ultimately up to city council. Corvette Romero, coowner of Shameless Buns, said after they received their business licence, they planned their entire summer and turned down other events with the plan to be in Steveston once or twice a week.

The Personal Information Protection Act governs the collection, use and disclosure of your personal information by private sector organizations. Romero questioned how other food trucks can operate in parking lots — like at Canadian Tire — and how the farmers market operates in a parking lot, but they aren’t allowed to operate in the parking lot of Steveston Hub. Romero said they pay Steveston Hub $250 to be on their premises and this helps to support the non-proﬁt that offers coworking space. A debate ensued on the News’ Facebook page about food trucks, with many in support of more in Steveston. However, some argued that rules are rules while another poster complained about the noise from generators. City spokesperson Clay Adams explained, while

Shameless Buns was given a business licence to operate in Steveston, there is an expectation they will comply with the applicable bylaws. “We identiﬁed an area of non-compliance with the licence and the zoning bylaw scenario and gave them an option to relocate so they could continue to operate in the area but, unlike another operator, they chose not to,” Adams said. However, documents posted with the review hearing report include Shameless Buns’ application with drawings that show they planned to operate in the Steveston parking space. The plan, however, includes using the adjacent empty lot for a lineup to the business.

The city offered Shameless Buns the opportunity to relocate to Britannia Heritage Shipyards, an offer accepted by Salty’s Lobster Shack, but Romero said the foot trafﬁc isn’t sufﬁcient at that location. Shameless Buns brings a following with it, she added, and their Filipino cuisine is unique to Steveston. It feels like the city is “digging in its heels,” Romero said, and they’ve already made up their minds although the food truck did its “due diligence.” “They are using this bylaw to strong arm us,” she said.

Nancy Small, CEO of Tourism Richmond, said for Richmond, given its proximity to the airport and its internationally connected population, this is especially important. But those working in tourism are trying not to use the term “vaccine passport” although this has entered the vernacular.

Normally, the tourism industry is worth about $2 billion to Richmond’s economy.

The documentation should be easily accessible and not exclusionary, Small said, adding the point that there wouldn’t be “too many hills to climb” for the user. There is a lot of “chatter” about vaccine documentation, Small said, and she’s hopeful the federal government will make an announcement in the coming weeks.

Richmond RCMP gave out four violation tickets in April for non-compliance with COVID-19 rules. One ticket for $2,300 was given out to the organizer of a party at a closed restaurant, which was also charged with organizing a non-compliant event.

Anti-masker ordered to pay ﬁnes

Meanwhile, a ticket was handed out for an organized soccer game and a customer at a supermarket was ﬁned $230 for refusing to wear a mask.

The woman, who has not been named, ﬁlmed the altercation with a Transit Police ofﬁcer late last year, screaming on video that she was being harassed after being asked to leave the train. Eventually, after several minutes, she was arrested.

Although there was hope travel would open up over the next few months, Small said it looks like it was be a second sum-

Violation tickets issued

While Small said they don’t have ﬁgures on the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on Richmond’s tourism industry, she notes the decrease in hotel tax, which funds Tourism Richmond, was down 66 pe cent in Richmond, calling this “catastrophic.” A Richmond woman has been ordered to pay $460 in public health order ﬁnes for refusing to wear a mask on the Canada Line.

G7 transport ministers, including Canada’s, met last week to discuss standards for when international travel resumes, data sharing and promoting universally recognized travel certiﬁcates.

She disputed the ﬁnes but they were upheld this week by a Justice of the Peace in court, according to Transit Police, who said they also recommended charges but the BC Prosecution Service didn’t lay them.

A homeowner was also ﬁned $2,300 for throwing a party at home.

Travellers ﬁned at YVR Nearly 200 tickets have been handed out to travellers at Vancouver International Airport for refusing to go to a governmentauthorized accommodation (GAA), which can cost around $2,500. But the ﬁne for refusing to go to a GAA

is $3,000, and those ﬁned are referred to local law enforcement for “priority follow up,” according to the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC). PHAC said that, as of May 2, “at least” 188 tickets have been issued to travellers at YVR, who did not book a GAA prior to arriving in Canada and subsequently refused to go to one. School exposures According to Vancouver Coastal Health, there were exposures at Anderson elementary (May 5 to 7); Bridge elementary (May 6 to 7); MacNeill secondary (May 4 to 7); Currie elementary (May 5 to 7); McKay elementary (April 26 to 28); McNair secondary (April 30 and May 3); Maple Lane elementary (April 28 to 29); Diefenbaker elementary (April 22 to 23 and April 26 to 30). There were also exposures at McKinney elementary (April 26 to 27); Cook elementary (April 28 and 30); and Woodward elementary (April 22 to 23 and April 26 to 28); as well as private school Cornerstone Christian Academy (May 6). —Richmond News staff

McDonald’s employee berated by alleged anti-masker A video of a fast-food chain employee being berated in Richmond is circulating on social media.

On May 29, I’m voting for Andy Hobbs for Richmond City Council.

In the video, ﬁlmed by a bystander and uploaded onto Reddit, a customer is seen being impatient with McDonald’s employees at Ironwood Plaza. According to the individual who posted the video, the man was allegedly refusing to wear his mask properly on his face after “being asked nicely” by the store manager.

However, when the manager asked him to leave, he started demanding for his order. He proceeded to reach over the counter to grab his food, claiming they were his orders, and said that he paid for them. When asked by another employee for his receipt to conﬁrm if they were actually his orders, he retorted with “F*** you for my receipt. I’m sick of this.” He goes on saying his kids are in the car and once again asks for his food. “You have kids and you have no sense on how to talk to people?” asked the McDonald’s employee. The customer proceeds to bring his phone up and began video recording the employee. “Ma’am, are you discriminating against

The video was shared on social media. Video screenshot me for having a medical condition,” the customer said. “You’re not my mom, so don’t look at me and don’t talk to me like you have the authority. You work at McDonald’s.” After he demanded to get his money back because the staff refused to serve him, he once again reached over the counter to grab what looked like a cup of coffee before walking away. As the man left, he dropped his coffee on the ground at the door right before the video cuts off. The Richmond News has reached out to McDonald’s for comment. —Valerie Leung/Richmond News

Tidal action exposing old dump site Coun. Harold Steves said he would like to see the City of Richmond investigate the area.

Kirsten Clarke

KCLARKE@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

But Steves’ knowledge of the former dump site, pre-dating his years on Richmond council, is limited.

There’s no sign of wildlife, no birdsong ﬁlling the air along a rust-stained stretch of shoreline in east Richmond — creating an atmosphere that Steve LaRocca can only describe as “desolate.”

“I had no idea there was garbage outside the dike,” he told the Richmond News. “It was supposed to be quite a ways inland… So there shouldn’t have been water near it at all. It will take some investigation to ﬁgure out who caused it…Either they didn’t get it cleaned up, or whatever they did to contain it has broken open.”

It’s incredibly rare, said LaRocca, to even see another person along the roughly 2.5-kilometre stretch, made up of two beaches known as “8 Ball” and “the Jungle” — separated by a waterway passable only at low tide — which lie to the east of Triangle Beach between No. 6 and No. 8 roads. LaRocca, 50, began beachcombing in early 2018 after he found, by chance, a carved white horse figurine near No. 5 and Dyke roads. He frequently shares some of his finds and the art he’s created with them on social media under the handle FraserRiverFinds. “You’re not going to find anything unless you get off the beaten path, and it was all just about wanting to see what’s around the corner,” he said. The Richmond resident soon discovered 8 Ball and the Jungle. There, he’s found items dating back, most frequently, to around the 1960s, although some are a few decades older — including a British Columbia Automobile Association emblem that LaRocca estimates is likely from the 1920s or 1930s, and a lead horse and rider, one of his favourite finds. But LaRocca — who also spends time cleaning up some of the places he visits around Richmond — is now hoping to draw attention to the state of the area, which was apparently the site of a dump through the mid-century, and why there are so many items to be found there.

Old cars emerge from the sand in “the Jungle” (above). Steve LaRocca (below) is pictured in front of the wall of plastic at 8 Ball. Steve LaRocca photos “It’s an old dumpsite that’s been covered and is being exposed by tidal action. It’s insane… There’s never anything really modern there,” he said. “But another really important part about it is there’s no wildlife, which is really disgusting... You’d think it should be teeming with wildlife.”

The beach, LaRocca said, is tarnished an “ugly, ghoulish kind of orange colour” — stained by decades of decomposing metals and garbage — and puddles of oil released from gear boxes and motors are splattered across the shoreline. Old tires and decayed, rusted cars emerge from the

In the summer, 8 Ball “stinks” from the smell of oil and other items cooking in the sun. You have to wonder, LaRocca said, what’s hiding still.

He doesn’t know how far back that wall of plastic extends into the landscape. Some, he said, looks just as good as the day it was dumped there.

“At some point, it’s just too much, because that little stretch of 8 Ball… I’ll ﬁnd a pile of stuff one day, and I can go back there tomorrow and ﬁnd a different pile of stuff, because it keeps getting exposed by tidal action,” he said. “I’ve been making art pieces out of some of the (items), but it actually starts feeling a bit exploitive, to tell you the honest truth. Somebody’s got to do something about this.”

Steves said the dump site was traded to the federal government so they could have a port there, in exchange for the Richmond Nature Park lands, around the mid-1960s. The dump was shut down sometime later, but Steves said he wasn’t sure exactly when. However, a spokesperson for the Port of Vancouver said the area appears to fall under the city’s jurisdiction. The News reached out to the City of Richmond for more information, but did not receive a response by deadline. Steves said there was once a similar site at the foot of 7th Avenue in Steveston — dating from the 1890s — which was contained when the city covered it with rip-rap, a method that could possibly be used at 8 Ball and the Jungle. “There’s still a pile of ancient stuff under the dike, but the difference is, the 1890s didn’t have plastic. That plastic sticking out is terrible,” he said, adding the federal government may also have to help clean up the site. LaRocca also said some areas need to be properly cleaned up, and also suggested that a weir system could be used to help lower the impact of waves and debris hitting the shore.

What inspired you to run? Lived in Richmond since 1986; educated and achieved MBA in United Kingdom; multilingual: Engish, Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, Cantonese and elementary Mandarin What are your top priorities? Advocate for more affordable housing to meet rapid growth; protect our farmland from turning into urban sprawl; enforce national care and accessibility for senior long term care; eliminate hospital parking fee for patients to access to health care; push Ottawa to address birth tourism a stop passport baby mill; arts and culture funding to support community integration and social values.

What inspired you to run? I am running for office because I believe city hall is a “house divided.” Decisions are often based on party affiliation, and not necessarily merit. If elected I will listen to the “extreme right/left and everyone in the middle” to come up with a decision that is in the best interests of all of Richmond. What are your top priorities? Dealing with Covid remains our top priority. The role of City Hall will be critical as we recover and eventually, learn to adjust to “life after Covid.” Other priorities include affordable housing, community safety (fire/police services), and traffic and transportation.

Jennifer Huang

South Arm area What inspired you to run? Being an independent candidate, I do have the mission for safety, affordability, peace and prosperity in Richmond. I must address the burning issues in respect of high unemployment rate and huge amount of people giving up job search in Richmond because of the complacency of all elected ofﬁcials. The airport public safety subject to terrorism is the paramount. To restore accountability of the City Council is my ﬁrm conviction to serve the Richmond taxpayers struggling in this economic hardship. What are your top priorities? Safety, affordability and prosperity

I am a sucker for affordable housing, re-allocation of police spending into mental health and substance use programs, destigmatization of sex work, language access to public services, and people just having their basic needs met at minimum.

What are your top priorities? Community safety, affordability, food security.

Tax cut proposed for small biz Nono Shen NSHEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Ho, Richmond Community Coalition (RCC) candidate, proposed to boost the local economy by promising a $100 stimulus voucher to all Richmond households.

After reading the story, Roston said he believes a better idea is to raise taxes on particular sectors or large corporations to offset a tax break for small business owners that are struggling. “Help is desperately needed if we are to preserve the small

Hobbs calls for support for RCMP Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

City council needs to show it’s behind the RCMP especially given the on-going gang warfare, says one Richmond city council candidate. With an increase of violence between rival gangs on display on the streets — including Sunday’s daylight shooting at YVR — Andy Hobbs, a former VPD superintendent who is running in the May 29 byelection, thinks it’s time for municipal leaders to show they support the Richmond RCMP. “One of the first things (council) can do is provide the leadership and support for the local RCMP detachment to refocus its priorities at this time, because there is a gang war going on and it’s an immediate crisis to protect the public from these gangsters, murders and shootings and random bullets flying around,” Hobbs said. Given the spate in violence, police need to focus on suppressing violence, interdicting — for example, seizing firearms — and prevention, including education in schools. Gang crime goes in cycles, but Hobbs said underlying the behaviour is a narcissis-

tic attitude and disregard for other people’s well-being. “They don’t care about anybody but themselves,” Hobbs said. To help police investigate crimes, Hobbs would also like to see the city lobby the province to allow recently installed intersection cameras to identify faces and licence plates, which are currently blurred as mandated by the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner (OIPC). When the cameras were approved by council, the primary purpose was “traffic management and road safety.” Hobbs said he would like to work with the privacy commissioner to allow the cameras to give clear images to be used by law enforcement, when needed, for example, when someone is fleeing a crime or there’s a kidnapping. But, he said, there should be a “layered approach” to using the data, whereby the cameras are controlled by the city’s FOI officer or a judge and police need to have reasonable, probable grounds in the public interest, like in the YVR shooting. But as the cameras are set up now with intentional poor resolution, they don’t reveal any useful data, Hobbs added.

businesses that are an essential component of the environment in Steveston and elsewhere in Richmond,” Roston wrote in one of his blogs.

pay more business taxes, which would enable the city to set a lower property tax rate for small business owners, noted Roston.

A big component of commercial rent is property tax, Roston pointed out and business tax is almost two and a half times more than residential.

“The city doesn’t have to lower taxes for all small businesses, they could look at all small businesses and apply the tax reduction on certain streets, such as in Steveston.”

To make it more equitable, large businesses which are thriving or even reaping huge proﬁts due to COVID-19 could

Rec fees pose barriers: Reid Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

With child poverty rates in some areas of Richmond at 40 per cent and seniors poverty rate above 20 per cent, one council candidate wants more recreational program subsidies for low-income residents. Karina Reid, running as the RITE candidate in the May 29 byelection, said there are “class barriers” stopping lowincome residents from accessing these public programs. “Everybody’s moving through the world on different levels,” she said. The fact that some areas of Richmond have child poverty rates of around 40 per cent, according to First Call, is “appalling,” Reid said. And, while many programs offered, like food bank and hot lunch programs, are helpful, Reid sees them as a “band-aid solutions.” “We need to look at bigger issues,” she said. To help with accessibility to public facilities, Reid suggested, instead of the current $300 subsidy for children and youth and $100 subsidy for adults and seniors, there should be 60 free drop-in admissions at Richmond’s

recreation centres for all lowincome residents. Reid said this could be an immediate — but temporary — way to help support vulnerable people who have been struggling during the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, applying for the city’s recreation subsidy and subsidy programs like JumpStart are as complicated as “doing your taxes,” said Reid, who has helped friends ﬁll out the forms. Some drop-in programs, however, are currently free for those who have a subsidy, for example, aquatic programs. Community centres often are a “lifeline” for many people — especially noticeable when they shut down last March — and given the increase in mental health issues related to the pandemic, they should remain accessible and low barrier, Reid said. With rising homelessness in Richmond, Reid sees community centres as part of the solution. “If you’re struggling with homelessness, maybe if you had access to community centres and you felt like you were part of a community, you felt like you belonged, maybe it could give you a sense of community and hope,” Reid said.

McNair music program on tightrope McNair secondary had 111 students — up from about 100 students taking part this year — wanting to take music this fall.

Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

After an outcry from parents and academia about cutting back on McNair secondary’s music program, the school will now be offering band to all grade levels. Three courses were initially being pulled off the course offerings because of low enrolment, but on Tuesday, the school district conﬁrmed another class was added, and the program will now include a Grade 8/9 band class. McNair grad Francis Naluz said the school’s music program had a “profound impact” on his life and he has gone on to study music at the post-secondary level with the goal of becoming a professional musician and music teacher. “The last thing I want is for students to lose out on the same incredible experience I had,” Naluz said in an email to Richmond News last week. The school had offered seven music classes, but only four had enough students enrolled. After the band class was added, only the choir and strings courses won’t be offered.

Richmond School District spokesperson David Sadler said “there are no programs being cut” rather courses are dependent on enrolment and course selection. Francis Naluz was inspired by McNair’s music program to continue music in post-secondary. Maria Rantanen photo McNair parent Andrea Lee said students that start early in music are more likely to continue on. “Band at the Grade 8 level allows students to hone basic skills so that they can approach more complex curriculum in future years,” Lee said last week before Grade 8/9 band was offered. “Cutting the Grade 8 Band program is equivalent to cutting the foundation of the music program.”

“In some instances, enrolment in a course may be too low to justify assigning a block of stafﬁng,” Sadler explained. “Stafﬁng is tighter in some schools this year due to enrolment decline.”

that “every single Grade 8 student at McNair will take Music 8,” he later clariﬁed this class is only one-third of a semester long.

The last thing I want is for students to lose out on the incredible experience I had. FRANCIS NALUZ

He added, in the past, there’s been “greater ﬂexibility” to run smaller classes when enrolment was higher. Originally, the school district said it wouldn’t be “feasible” to run the three classes that had low numbers — Grade 10-12 Choir only had seven students sign up and Junior Band and Strings 9-12 each had 17 students sign up. While Sadler told the Richmond News

A recent UBC study, published by the American Psychological Association in June 2019, showed that B.C. students who took band, orchestra or choir scored “signiﬁcantly better” in math, science and English than those not taking music, explained Peter Gouzouasis, lead author of the study, in an email to the Richmond News.

The study controlled for demographic factors, for example, gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic background. “It’s a music ‘effect,’ and the scientiﬁc proof is solidly documented in our landmark paper,” he added. The research is part of a new area called “positive youth development,” Gouzouasis said, adding cancelling instrumental music programs would be “wrong-headed, misguided and uninformed.”

Magazine offers youth platform for art, activism Valerie Leung

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

Artistic platforms for teens were rare two years ago, so a Richmond Secondary student took it upon herself to create one. Jessica Huang, a Grade 12 student, said she has participated in many artistic projects throughout her childhood, but she didn’t have many opportunities to actually share her work. It became her goal to create a place where teens could do just that, while advocating for things

they want to support.

What started off as a student club when Huang was in Grade 10 has become a digital platform for youth in B.C. and, on occasion, around the world.

The title of the magazine, she added, was used as an expression for artists and creators to “embrace imperfection and selfgrowth.”

20 more eateries getting patios Maria Rantanen MRANTANEN@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

If you want salmon, Indian food, food court meals or a pint of beer, about 20 Richmond restaurants and food and drink establishments have received temporary patio licences for outdoor dining. Currently, indoor dining is banned by the provincial health ofﬁcer, Dr. Bonnie Henry, to curb the spread of COVID-19, at least until after the May long weekend. The City of Richmond is expediting temporary patio licences to allow restaurants to have patrons eating outdoors. Currently, the following restaurants have been issued a permit: Sockeye City, The

The city is working on other applications as well. The News recently reported on Davood’s Bistro’s patio application in Steveston. Owner Davood Khatami said he hopes his patio adds to the ambiance of Steveston Village; he also wanted to see the street in front of his bistro turned into a one-way to allow for more patios and room for pedestrians.

Fishing ﬁrms ready for ‘crazy’ spot prawn season for spot prawn season.

Valerie Leung

“We’ve had to adapt to the restrictions so many times and the spot prawn season was one of many factors we rushed the patio work for.”

VLEUNG@RICHMOND-NEWS.COM

A long lineup is no surprise during Steveston’s spot prawn season, but local restaurants are still anticipating a “crazy” year with some even calling it a “spot prawn high.”

What has Dagan excited is not only the anticipated business the spot prawn season will bring, but also the collaboration among restaurants with Steveston Spot Prawn’s “Just travelin” vessel for a special spot prawn menu.

Every year, spot prawn season gathers seafood fans across Metro Vancouver during the months of May and June and Steveston is one of the hotspots. This year, vessels will start selling on Saturday, May 15 and the Steveston Harbour Authority (SHA) is working together with the City of Richmond and Vancouver Coastal Health to implement new guidelines for the anticipated busy season. There will be a one-way foot trafﬁc area at Fisherman’s Wharf on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the ﬁrst two weeks of the spot prawn season as well as signs telling people where they need to line up. Shane Dagan, owner of Steveston Seafood House, one of many restaurants in the village, said the spot prawn season always brings crowds and this year he is more excited than ever. “I know we aren’t really looking for crowds this time, but this year I think it’ll be an even busier season because

Meanwhile, Steveston Spot Prawn, a multi-family ﬁshing business, is participating in its sixth spot prawn season this year and is expecting a busier dock and more orders than last year. Steveston Spot Prawns has been working the annual spot prawn sales for six years and counting. Steveston Spot Prawns photo everybody is at home,” said Dagan, adding that many people often leave town during May and June. “We’re excited a lot of locals can experience (it) more this year and by having them close to home, they can enjoy the season.” Like every business, Dagan’s restaurant was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. However, he has been able to build and open up a backyard patio in time

“Last year was astronomical. It was the best ﬁshing we’ve had, the longest lineups at the docks we’ve had and we’re expecting the same, if not better, this year,” said Brianna Stylianou, sales manager with Steveston Spot Prawn. “We are so lucky to live and work in Steveston and I think the biggest highlight is to interact with people when they come to talk to us. It’s just so rewarding especially in this community.” She added that the “craziness” of the spot prawn season isn’t the long lineups that she sees every year, but how early customers line up for the prawns. “It’s like a spot prawn high, people line up as early as 6:30 a.m. during the ﬁrst week of the season sometimes.”

REMEMBRANCES OBITUARIES

ANNOUNCEMENTS

IN MEMORIAM

KNAP, Vladimir May 23, 1954 − May 9, 2018

CHEMETSKI, Doreen It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Doreen Chernetski, beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, sister, auntie, and friend. Born in 1935 in Edmonton to parents Jean and Luther. Doreen was one of 6 children, 5 girls and 1 boy. She leaves behind sisters Mooney and Val. Doreen’s family moved to Vancouver after the death of her father, where she finished school, worked as telephone operator, married, settled in Coquitlam and had 4 children: Dawn, Debbie, Danny and Michele. Known for her hardwork ethic and involvement in the community, always active, bowling, swimming, walking along the dykes in Stevston and later golfing. She always encouraged others to do and be their best, loved a bargain and was always dressed to the nines. She was a dedicated homemaker and positive influence as a Girl Guide leader, and was never too busy to sew uniforms for baton or decorate the house for Halloween and the holidays. As her children grew up, she re-entered the workforce working in the Valley Bakery in Burnaby. She was loved and respected by her colleagues and customers alike. She left this job to move to Steveston and retire at 60 where she lived for the next 20 years with her 2nd husband Steve Olenick. His son Daryl and wife Helen and children Courtney and Travis also became a beloved part of her family – always including her and genuinely caring and watching out for her even after the passing of Steve. She loved music – singing along to the oldies but goodies or playing on her tabletop organ, playing crib and card games, an avid sports fan – football, baseball, hockey, golf and tennis – you name it. Doreen loved golf, she joined the Friday Ladies golf at Mylora Golf course. Doreen served on the Telephone committee in 1999 and the Prize committee in 2002 before becoming the Captain of the Ladies League from 2005 to 2017. She kept track of the bookings, organizing fun days and end if season tournaments. She made many life-long friends there and cared deeply about the health and happiness of the members. Always a good listener, but also a positive and motivating leader for all who met her. Doreen loved to travel visiting her daughter in Switzerland, going to her grandson’s wedding in Poland (where she danced up a storm) and also making a couple of fantastic tours : of the UK, a trip back to her families’ origins and a riverboat trip down the Danube to Budapest. Most every year, they went to Laughlin where they met friends and enjoyed going to the casinos and golfing. Doreen’s positive attitude and friendly, intelligent, and thoughtful personality left a lasting impression on all those who met her. Her neighbours and friends in Steveston will remember her fondly for her generous and caring manner. She was a super grandma to Steven, Danielito, Nicole and Matthew, Michael and Robert, Christine and David, and Tyler and great grandma to Hailie and Reid and recently Sebastian and Reyn, and his soon to be born sister. She just learned that her grandson Matthew will be a father and she was so happy; she will look down from heaven and watch over all of them with pride. She was even a great mother-in-law to Mike and Christian who she thought the world of and loved very much. Doreen lived an active and full life. A special thank you to the caregivers that came to her home in her final days, who treated her with dignity and also became friends, touched by her out-going and genuine nature. She passed peacefully with her daughters Dawn and Deborah by her side.

I hide my tears when I say your name but the pain in my heart is still the same. Although I smile and seem carefree, there is no one who misses you more than me. You are gone from my sight but never from my heart. I miss you more than words can say. − Your devoted Nora

EVERY TICKET CHANGES A LIFE

BC’s Hometown Heroes come to the aid of people in life-threatening situations every day. From rescue to recovery, BC’s front line workers and first responders – our fire fighters, along with the doctors, nurses and health care teams at Vancouver General Hospital – are always on duty for critically ill and severely injured British Columbians. When you need help, these heroes respond. Our health care heroes are fighting COVID-19 at VGH. Now, more than ever, our heroes need your support. Your Hometown Heroes Lottery ticket purchases support VGH & UBC Hospital Foundation, raising essential funds for specialized adult health services and research at VGH and UBC Hospital, GF Strong Rehab Centre, Vancouver Coastal Health Research Institute and Vancouver Community Health Services for all British Columbians. Ticket purchases also support programs of the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, including burn survivor support services and resiliency programs for fire fighters.

Thank you for purchasing your Hometown Heroes Lottery tickets.
